An official degree certificate and official transcript must be submitted for the highest degree you have obtained. Have the transcript and degree certificate sealed in an envelope by the institution you attended and mailed to the EWC Leadership Program Office:
Leadership Program
East-West Center, JAB 2062A
1601 East-West Road
Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96848-1601
U.S.A.
All official transcripts and degree certificates must be sealed directly by the institution or Ministry of Education to the EWC Leadership Program Office. These documents should be mailed in an official university or Ministry envelope and remain sealed by that institution in order to be accepted by the East-West Center. Documents mailed or hand-carried by the applicant or a third party will not be accepted as official or used for admissions consideration unless they are contained in an envelope that has been sealed by the university.
To have copies of transcripts and degree certificates attested, take them to the University Registrar's Office and request copies of your transcripts with grades and copies of your degree certificate. The University must officially stamp and sign the copies before placing them in an envelope with the University's seal placed across the sealed envelope's flap. Your University may also mail the sealed transcript directly to the East-West Center if they do not want to release the attested copy to you.
Please note that notarized transcripts cannot be accepted as official documents. Only transcripts attested by the University Registrar's Office and signed by an authorized official of the University may be considered acceptable documents.
